Dale, What is it using for a Regulator ? If it is the STR58041, check the feed back line for an 180 ohm resistor.(I think off pin # 4). I can look it up if you need me to. I had one that checked at 18 ohms. This threw me a curve ball,..bacause the color code had faded, and looked like an 18 ohm vaue was correct, when in fact it should have been 180 ohms all the time.
